Who we are

AI and software, from San Francisco.

ENOV Group helps companies get AI and software right. We review AI proposals and projects before money is spent, lead technology as a fractional CTO, and build AI agents, automation and enterprise software when you need it built.

AI expertise

Where AI projects quietly fail.

Most AI proposals cover the demo. We check what happens after launch, plus the engineering underneath: architecture, cloud, testing and security.

Evaluation

Test sets, regression checks and human review before anything ships.

Inference cost

Tokens, caching and model choice, costed per active user.

Data readiness

Data quality, customer consent and local data-protection rules.

Agent guardrails

Limits on what agents can do, audit logs and human approval steps.

Portability

No lock-in to a single model, vendor or cloud.

Production monitoring

Drift, wrong answers, latency and fallbacks, tracked after launch.

Why independent

A partner at the table working only for you.

AI vendors sell models, agencies sell builds and cloud providers sell computing power. That's their job. Ours is to make sure it all adds up for your business.

  • Nobuild contracts with the companies we review for
  • Noreferral fees from agencies or platforms
  • Nohourly billing. Fixed fees, agreed up front.

We don't replace your IT team or vendor. We help them deliver, and make sure the result protects you.

Services
